Private Pet & House Sitting — Referral Information
Please share this page with your friends and family!
🐾A Trusted Presence for Your Home & Animals 🐾
If you’ve arrived here, it means someone who knows me personally has recommended me to you.
For over three decades, I’ve quietly cared for the homes and beloved animals of friends, musicians, families, and professionals throughout the Bay Area and beyond. My approach is simple:
Keep your pets happy, your home peaceful, and your routines uninterrupted while you travel.
I specialize in calm, attentive, live-in pet and house sitting that allows animals to remain comfortable in the place they feel safest—their own home.
⭐ ABOUT ME
✨Tré Taylor—The Fairy Dog Mother✨
I am a writer, singer, and creative professional living a slow-travel lifestyle. Pet and house sitting has naturally become part of that journey—allowing me to work remotely while offering dependable care to animals and homes entrusted to me.
I work from home, which means your pets receive consistent companionship, supervision, and attention throughout the day.
My work includes:
🐾 Pet & house sitting (short and long stays) 🐾 Care for dogs, cats, chickens, fish, and small animals 🐾 Senior pet care & medication routines 🐾 Garden and plant maintenance 🐾 Home presence & security while you travel
Along the way, I’ve become known for leaving homes cleaner than I found them—and often welcoming families home with a small homemade treat from my “Nomad Kitchen.”
